I'm convinced that the engineer at the beginning was not expecting that outcome after he drank the liquid. Was he a religious sacrifice? A prisoner?

From all that I have read and gathered of what Ridley Scott read, he was 100% aware of what he was doing, he was sacrificing himself to create life. There is an underlying theme of self-sacrifice for others to live VS sacrifice-others so you can live (see: Prometheus myth, Prometheus the life-giver sacrifices himself so that humanity can exist.) I read that the black goo reacts differently based on intentions/etc; that is, when the Engineers use it, coming from the pure place they come from and willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of others, it creates life, but when the goo reaches the imperfect human beings, it takes their selfishness and mutates in a negative way.

edit: basically, he intentionally sacrifices himself, breaking himself into dna, the building blocks of life, and doing so into water, the source of all life. HE IS THE WELLSPRING FROM WHICH WE FLOW
